I started this blog to keep folk up to date on my husband's melanoma treatments. I have kept up daily blogs for 15 1/2 years…sometimes health related...sometimes just daily routine. June 16th Woody took his final breath in his long health battle. I have blogged for so long that it is part of my daily routine…so I guess I will continue with posts from me about how I cope with this new stage in my life…widowhood.

Life Isn't Always Fair!
Our mother often told us that life isn't always fair and she is definitely proving it to us! Poor Mother...she hasn't had the best of days. She is finally resting quietly...hasn't had many of those moments today. A Hospice nurse's aid came today and gave her a bath and helped us get the bed changed and gave us a bit of a rest. Her coming by unexpectedly was definitely a big help to our day. One of Cheryl's friends stopped by this afternoon and we had a nice visit in between trips into Mother's room. The hardest thing is that Mother can't have anything by mouth due to the fact that she is aspirating. A little while ago my niece, Rachel, offered her a washcloth. She said, "I don't care if you bring me a washcloth as long as it is WET!" (That's our mother!!!!!) I called Woody and he was watching March Madness and had been reading. He went to the early church service and then taught his Sunday School class. He came home and went on his three-mile walking route. He has made his favorite Vegetarian Chili. He was planning to go to church tonight to a special evangelism class. Tonight's blog pictures Spring in AZ...what I can see looking out my sister's kitchen window into her backyard! It is absolutely beautiful here has only been in the low 70'sF. I think that each day is supposed to get a little warmer here till we might see the 90'sF by the end of the week.
